Multiple Tables in One Form

Good Morning,

I am wondering if there is a way to create a single form for an app to capture data for multiple tables with the form format. When I create a form, it only gives me the option to add fields to edit from one particular table.

Thank you!

  • If you use Legacy forms, and there is a relationship between the tables you can enter a Parent record and have multiple embedded reports on the form for multiple child tables and allow then to be "editable" (Grid Edit).  The you can enter the parent info and the child table info all in one "save".

      Thank you Mark :) 

      Currently I am using the new version of forms (and this is the preferred option). What I am looking to do is to have one form to edit all tables (maybe each table in a separate "page" of the form), but NOT grid edit from a report- but not sure if this is possible.
